luokkakeskustelu

Luokkakeskustelu, also known as class struggle, is a central concept in Marxist theory, referring to the conflict between the working class and the ruling class within a society. This struggle is driven by the economic and social inequalities that exist between these two groups. The working class, which includes those who engage in manual labor or work in factories, is often exploited by the ruling class, which consists of the owners of the means of production, such as factories and land. This exploitation leads to a constant tension and conflict, as the working class seeks to improve their living conditions and the ruling class seeks to maintain their economic power and privileges. The outcome of this struggle can vary, with potential outcomes including the working class gaining control over the means of production, leading to a socialist society, or the working class being suppressed, leading to a more repressive form of capitalism. Luokkakeskustelu is a dynamic and ongoing process that shapes the political, economic, and social landscape of societies throughout history.
